Rule Name |
A route to the owning server couldn't be found in the routing tables. Messages sent to recipients on this store won't be routed. |
Explanation
This Error event indicates that the Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 transport routing engine can't find the route to the specified information store on the specified Mailbox server. Therefore, routing is unable to deliver messages to recipients with mailboxes located in this store. This error may be caused by Active Directory replication latency.
User Action
To resolve this warning, do one or more of the following:
- Use the Get-ExchangeServer cmdlet in the Exchange
Management Shell to verify that the specified server exists.
- Take no action. The messages will be routed to the Unreachable
queue and delivery will be retried when routing configuration
changes. When the server information is updated in routing tables,
the messages will automatically be routed to the destination
server.
- If you have been granted the correct permissions, you can force
Active Directory replication to occur immediately. An
Active Directory notification will cause the routing tables to
be updated and any affected messages in the Unreachable queue will
be resubmitted and routed to the destination server.
- Verify that the Microsoft Information Store service is started
on the Mailbox server that is specified in the error message
text.
- Verify that the databases within the information store that is
specified in the error message text are mounted. For more
information, see How to Mount a Database.
- Verify that the Exchange server specified in the error message
text is functional and available on the network. For example,
use the Ping or PathPing command-line tools to test
basic connectivity. Use Ping to isolate network hardware
problems and incompatible configurations. Use PathPing to
detect packet loss over multiple-hop trips. For more information,
see Microsoft Knowledge Base article 325487, How to troubleshoot network connectivity
problems.
- Verify that the Exchange server that logged this event can
communicate with one or more Active Directory servers
available in the organization.
- Review the Application log and System log on your Exchange 2010
servers for related events. For example, events that occur
immediately before and after this event may provide more
information about the root cause of this error.
- Resolve your issue by using self-support options, assisted
support options, and other resources. You can access these
resources from the Exchange Server Solutions Center. From this page,
click Self-Support Options in the navigation pane to use
self-help options. Self-help options include searching the
Microsoft Knowledge Base, posting a question at the Exchange Server
forums, and others. Alternatively, in the navigation pane, you can
click Assisted Support Options to contact a Microsoft
support professional. Because your organization may have a specific
procedure for directly contacting Microsoft Technical Support, be
sure to review your organization's guidelines first.
